SkinPen Microneedling Q & A

What is microneedling?

When Amy Klein, DO, and the team at Gainesville Obstetrics and Gynecology employ microneedling, it stimulates healing in your skin. This treatment involves pricking your skin with tiny needles.

The body reads those small pricks as injuries and sends healing agents to the area. This increases blood flow and encourages the creation of new tissue. As those “wounds” are rebuilt with new cells, tissues, and blood vessels, you’re left with newer, healthier, unblemished skin.

During this healing process, your body creates new collagen and elastin. These two proteins support the structure of your skin, helping it maintain elasticity and fullness, for a clearer, younger look. As a result, microneedling is an effective treatment for people who want to smooth their skin and diminish acne scars, fine lines, or wrinkles.

Does microneedling hurt?

Gainesville Obstetrics and Gynecology is committed to your comfort. They can apply a topical anesthetic to prevent pain, so you should only feel a small vibration throughout your treatment. What’s more, the procedure itself is short (usually under 30 minutes) so you don’t have to worry about a drawn-out process.

What is the SkinPen?

The SkinPen is the first FDA-approved microneedling device. While aestheticians have been using microneedling for years, the SkinPen is the first to have proven, repeatable results. If you’ve been looking to clear up and smooth out your skin, this is a tried-and-true solution.

What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a powerful tool that can be used to restore your healthiest skin. What’s more, it uses your body’s natural healing power. During a PRP treatment, Dr. Klein takes a small sample of your blood, then separates the platelets into a plasma. The platelets in your blood contain growth factors. When condensed into a plasma, they stimulate restoration in your skin.

By microneedling this plasma into your skin, Gainesville Obstetrics and Gynecology amplifies the benefits of microneedling and encourages the production of new, healthy, smooth skin.
